Blu-ray discs have just begun to penetrate the market, and there are already some people contemplating the idea of mass copying them. Well, I know what you're saying, this kinda smells a bit like piracy, and you're right, it does, but nevertheless, this piece of hardware is quite impressive. What we're dealing with here is a huge replicating machine, created by Microboards technology and dubbed the CopyWriter Blu-Ray (although the name “Blu-ray Tower” sounds a lot better, don't you think?), which includes up to 10 recorders.

What's so great about this machine? Well, first thing's first, it's working with Blu-ray discs, which sport a huge storage space, of up to 24GB per disc.

Moreover, the device is quite easy to control via its 5-button control interface, which provides both basic features, as well as advanced features for the pro-users.
